Description

This item becomes available to all in: Introducing, the new Dark Matter Collection! Featuring Iconic Reels & Nomad 2 Pliers in a new custom Black-Blue Splatter anodize with Acid Green paint fill. Please note: because of the nature of splatter anodize, no two reels or pliers will look exactly the same. If I was stranded on a desert island and had only one reel to bring, it would be the 7+. We have sold more of these bad boys than any other size in the Hatch line up. From bonefish to permit, steelhead to carp, this reel has you covered. Proudly made in Southern California, USA. Each Iconic Reel comes with Reel Pouch and Iconic Cap Wrench. Not compatible with previous model spools.
